Equal ranks - but no gaps
I checked quite a number of answers in this area, but couldn't find a
solution to my little ranking problem (column B is the ranking as I would like to see it): A B 1 Value Rank 2 1 1 3 1 1 4 1 1 5 2 2 <----- that being the 'tricky' part :) 6 3 3 Thank you very much! Thomas |

Try:
=SMALL($A$1:$A$5,ROW()) "Thomas" wrote: I checked quite a number of answers in this area, but couldn't find a solution to my little ranking problem (column B is the ranking as I would like to see it): A B 1 Value Rank 2 1 1 3 1 1 4 1 1 5 2 2 <----- that being the 'tricky' part :) 6 3 3 Thank you very much!

one method would be to use some helper columns(C:D?)
use advanced filter to generate a list of unique numbers from column A in the first helper column in the second helper column, use the rank() function on the first helper column in column B use vlookup(A2,C$1!:D$3,2) copy and drag down "Thomas" wrote: I checked quite a number of answers in this area, but couldn't find a solution to my little ranking problem (column B is the ranking as I would like to see it): A B 1 Value Rank 2 1 1 3 1 1 4 1 1 5 2 2 <----- that being the 'tricky' part :) 6 3 3 Thank you very much!

Set B2=1
in B3 and copy down: =IF(A3=A2,B2,B2+1) "Thomas" wrote: I checked quite a number of answers in this area, but couldn't find a solution to my little ranking problem (column B is the ranking as I would like to see it): A B 1 Value Rank 2 1 1 3 1 1 4 1 1 5 2 2 <----- that being the 'tricky' part :) 6 3 3 Thank you very much!

If the values are unsorted:
=IF(A2="","",SUMPRODUCT(--(A2A$2:A$6),1/COUNTIF(A$2:A$6,A$2:A$6&""))+1) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Toppers" wrote in message ...
